While I was born and bred in New England, I have lived down 'here', for over 30 years and trust me, no one down here is the least bit surprised by this information. They (OK, we . . . ) are our own worst enemies and they . . . we . . . freely admit it. It seems to be in the water down here. What I took take umbrage with is that Florida seems to the national media's whipping boy for things (chads, stand-your-ground, Trayvon, etc.) that are much worse in other states. But, here are some of my fave Florida jokes (from jokes4us)
